The finest frets in the business!

Names like "medium", "jumbo", "tall", etc., aren't particularly helpful because the actual measurements for the frets following those names vary drastically from company to company. Even the same fret name from the same guitar maker might be a totally different size, depending on the year of manufacturing. For this reason, you should NEVER go by the name of the fret size you want. Always go by the actual measurements of the frets you want. These are the sizes we currently stock:
| H x W | Name, sometimes... | Common Use |
| .043" x .080" | Small / Vintage | Vintage acoustics and electrics, mandolins, banjos, etc. |
| .047" x .095" | Medium / Jumbo | Most popular fret size. Electrics and acoustics. |
| .047" x .104" | Vintage / Jumbo | Second most popular fret size. Electrics and acoustics. |
| .051" x .100" | Another "Jumbo" | Today's most popular for LP-style guitars. |
| .055" x .090" | Modern / Tall | Narrow and tall. Electrics and acoustics. |
| .057" x .110" | Extra Jumbo | Very tall and wide. Scalloped neck feel. |
| .058" x .118" | Extra/Super Jumbo | Very tall and very wide. Scalloped neck feel. |
